Don't send children to army-run schools: Geelani warns parents

 Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani on Friday warned parents against sending children to army-run schools in Kashmir Valley.

“(Army) goodwill schools have been setup for indoctrination of Kashmiri students, and these institutions run by the army make students indifferent towards their religion and culture,” octogenarian Geelani claimed in a statement to the media.

While warning the parents to avoid sending their children to these institutions, he claimed, “For petty material gains, we are losing our next generation.”

The Hurriyat hardliner expressed apprehension over the reports of “mischievous activities” of goodwill schools.
“They are killing, maiming and blinding us, and how obsolete and obscure it is to trust these and handover our future to their custody. It is quite contradictory and there is no moral justification for this. Occupiers can never prove choicest custodians and can never provide better education, as they are inflicting unprecedented brutalities to our nation,” he said.
